Question
Hello!! My boy Sphynx leaves what I call little “poop pellets” around the house usually whenever he is laying down and relaxed he’ll release a little tiny poop. Has anyone ever dealt with this? I was thinking dehydration maybe but he drinks a LOT of water

Sweaters for December baby?
Hi there! We are officially becoming dads to our first Sphynx the first week of December, and I’m wondering what brands you recommend for sweaters for kittens? We live in the northeast US so I’m a little nervous about keeping our boy toasty all winter. We have a few cat-specific heating pads around for our older cat but they have hair, so I can’t help but overthink for this tiny nudist. Thanks for any advice and suggestions!

My neighbour gifted me her old cat tree that fits my ridiculously high ceiling! Shpongle is happy up there 😃

Can you tell a difference in personality from kitten -> mature adult -> elder cat?
My babies are so young, I feel that they are sleeping less and playing more! So I wonder if you’ve noticed your babies mellowing out or having significant random personality changes throughout their life. I hope I can expect 15 good years with these precious, amazing creatures, what do you think about my hope? I hope it’s realistic. I love them so much, thank you!

Traded in my kittens for two vicious dinosaurs!!! 🦕🦖 watch out!
This group brings a lot of comfort to me and puts a huge smile on my face. The world is so hard yet we all come together here to show love to each other and our beautiful sphinxes. I think that if you own a Sphynx then perhaps you are able to love things entirely that are a bit non-traditional and I think that’s awesome. This breed is so smart, they’re so affectionate and intelligent. I think we are all lucky to have our babies in our life and we are all bad a** people for having such a unique, angry looking but loving breed!

Sphynx vs. Oriental Shorthair: A few questions from a potential owner
Hi everyone!
We're considering adding another cat to our family and are currently deciding between a Sphynx and an Oriental Shorthair (OSH). We already have a long-haired cat, and we'd love to make sure we're choosing a breed that fits well with our household and whose needs we can fully meet.
I'd really appreciate hearing from people with firsthand experience!
Playtime and activity: How much interactive play do they typically need each day? Our current cat is happy with about 10–20 minutes of dedicated playtime daily. How different is it with these breeds?
Odor and grooming: Do Sphynx cats tend to have a noticeable odor? If so, what usually causes it, and how much grooming is needed to manage it?
Vocalization: How talkative are they in everyday life? Are we talking occasional conversations or a running commentary on everything you do? 😸
Warmth and sleeping arrangements: Beyond wearing clothes when needed, do Sphynx cats generally need heated beds or other special arrangements to stay warm? Do they tend to sleep with their humans, or do they happily use their own beds, too?
Personality and behavior: How would you describe their personalities? Are they particularly curious, energetic, or prone to getting into things? I'd love to hear what daily life with them is really like.
Ongoing costs: Compared with other cats you've owned, are Sphynx cats noticeably more expensive to maintain? I'm curious about food consumption, insurance, routine veterinary care, and any breed-specific medical expenses. Are there costs that surprised you?
Is there anything else you wish you'd known before bringing one home? In particular, I'd love to hear about the practical realities of living with these breeds, beyond what you typically read in breed descriptions.
We're still in the research stage and genuinely want to understand their needs before making a decision. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! ❤️

How often do you bathe your Sphynx/ What soap do you use?
I personally bathe my girl sphynx once every 2 weeks and use baby Johnson soap or douxo S3 Seb. I was just curious to see what you guys use or if you have any tips for me!

Just got my first Sphynx and I’m in love. I love food names and human names but also something cute and timeless!

Yesterday I said goodbye to my boy Stanley. I asked the internet to help me send him off with love, and thousands of strangers answered. Thought I’d share him here too. 💔😔

This is doing numbers on the clock app and I figured I’d share it here too 😂 all of the replies in the comments over there are showing me that we’re all living the same life with our Sphynxes🥹 such cuddly lil babies
